Captain Blood is a fascinating sci-fi adventure that sees you traveling the galaxy to track down and eliminate your own clones. Along the way you'll pilot your ship over fractal terrain and communicate with a host of alien characters using a pictographic language reminiscent of modern emoji. I've long thought this game deserves a modern remake or re-release, so it'll be great to see GOG do what they can to preserve it.

I never finished it. But the book that came with the box told a great story, and I want to try and get that feeling back that the game gave me. 30 years later it still intrigues me as to what could be.

Never played that game, but I would like to. The music in the game was composed by Jean-Michel Jarre, the French electronic music genius. The game was released by the French Studio Exxos around 1988. You have to track down five clones of Captain Blood exploring the universe.

I can think of no game more worthy of preservation than this, whatever one might think of the gameplay or even the presentation. Its quirky inventiveness is quintessential GOG

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.

Friday the 13th
Friday the 13thThe game is a 2D action horror based on the first movie of popular horror franchise Friday the 13th. The game casts the player as one of six camp counselors (three girls or three boys) at the Camp Crystal Lake and the player´s main task is to defend the children in the cabins situated all around the lake while slowly killing Jason. The cabins are frequently attacked by the mass murderer and the player must get to the attacked cabin within the specific time limit otherwise Jason kills the children. When all the camp counselors or all the children are dead, the game is over. Jason can attack the player outside cabins too, on the pathways when exploring.

Asghan: The Dragon Slayer
Asghan: The Dragon SlayerAsghan: The Dragon Slayer is a fantasy-themed hack-and-slash action role-playing Game. Players take on the persona of Asghan, a warrior prince who swears to avenge the death of his father by dragons.

It suffers, however, from lacking character development and awkward controls.

Shadowrun
ShadowrunShadowrun is an action role-playing game.It was adapted from the cyberpunk role-playing game Shadowrun.The game is the second video game adapted from Shadowrun, and has a more open ended style of gameplay than its 1993 Super NES counterpart, Shadowrun by Beam Software. The game is set in the Shadowrun universe, in the 2050s. A time where the blending of technology and human flesh is common; it is around the time the Matrix, a huge computer network, came online, with the ability to jack into its cyberspace directly. It was also a time of magic renewal: a phenomenon known as The Awakening occurred, where magic returned into the world. Sorcery was once again possible, and slowly and seemingly at random humans began to mutate into orcs, dwarves, elves or trolls. This time of upheaval was not without political conflicts: mega-corporations began to control the world. But with their magic, native shamans threatened them and the world geography came to a complete change. The Amerindians and Elves reclaimed an area called Salish-Shidhe, close to the free city of Seattle, a major city in the newly formed United Canadian and American States.
